FDIC 101: An Introduction to Deposit Insurance, Bank Supervision, and Resolutions

FDIC is soliciting applications for the 2019 sessions of FDIC 101: An Introduction to Deposit Insurance, Bank Supervision, and Resolutions.

The deadline to request space is January 4, 2019.

Two sessions of FDIC 101 will be offered in 2019:

• March 25 – 29
• November 4 – 8

FDIC 101 is designed to provide a high-level overview of the FDIC’s policies and operations in a format tailored for an international audience. During the week-long program, senior FDIC experts will:

• Describe the FDIC’s bank supervision activities and authority.
• Explain how the FDIC manages the Deposit Insurance Fund.
• Describe how the FDIC resolves failed banks and its role in resolution planning for systemically important financial institutions.

FDIC 101 does not intend to teach international best practices in deposit insurance, bank supervision, or resolutions; FDIC experts will only present the FDIC’s approach to these issues. By the end of the program, participants should be able to compare what they have learned with their own experiences to determine which lessons may be most applicable to their organizations.

Candidate Profile

FDIC 101 is designed for senior to mid-level managers and rising leaders from deposit insurers, central banks, bank supervisors, and other agencies involved in financial stability.

Participants in a position to influence policy at their organization and with a strong understanding of their crisis management framework would benefit most from this program.

Participants should have at least five years of experience in the financial sector and be familiar with one or more of the program’s core subjects: supervision, resolutions, or deposit insurance.

Applicants will be asked to provide information to verify that they meet the prerequisite experience.

Translation services will not be offered. Students should have a strong command of English to maximize their comprehension of the program.
